Overview

Description

Welcome home to 1506 Berkshire where summer in the city means escaping to your own backyard! This home is situated on nearly an acre (a rarity in GR!) and the property shares its southern border with the 141 acre Ken-O-Sha Park featuring miles of trails and abundant wildlife. Inside, the home strikes a perfect balance of post-war construction strength and charm with modern updates where they matter most. You'll find hardwood floors throughout the main level, three bdrms, renovated bathroom with walk-in tile shower, and a renovated kitchen with the epitome of a garden window. An original fireplace is the focus of the living room while other delightful details of a window seat, window shutters, and hidden closet can be found throughout the house. Speaking of windows, those are all new, including the glass block in the basement which also has a secondary fireplace ready to anchor the rec room. Beautiful on both the inside and outside, don't miss this one! SELLER REVIEWING OFFERS 5pm 6/7
